Canyon de Chelly

The Canyon de Chelly is a national monument in Apache County, Arizona. It was established on 1 April 1931 on 83,840 acres of land between the Navajo Nation and the Four Corners, and it preserved the ruins of the indigenous tribes such as the Anasazi and Navajo. In 1864, the canyon was the site of a decisive battle between Kit Carson's US forces and Barboncito and Manuelito's Navajo forces, resulting in the fall of the Navajo settlements there and the forced relocation of the Navajo in the "Long Walk".
